Brooke Hogan has revealed she was able to get a moment of closure, saying a final, private goodbye to her father, Hulk Hogan, more than a month after his death. In a new interview, she also provided an update on the police investigation into his passing.
During a call to the Bubba the Love Sponge Show on Wednesday, Brooke shared that she was recently invited by the Clearwater Police to review the details of their investigation. While in town, she was also able to visit the funeral home where her father’s body is currently located.
Brooke described the experience of seeing her father one last time as a “really nice day” that brought her a sense of peace.
“I was able to see my dad, and he looked great. He looked like he was ready for a pay-per-view,” Brooke said. “He was big, strong, you know, hair looking good, bandana on, Fu Manchu going. He looked great… It was awesome to see him. And I said a prayer over him, and I got to say my final goodbyes and that was that. It was super nice.”
For weeks, Brooke has been publicly questioning the circumstances surrounding her father’s death, even offering to pay for a private autopsy. She now says that after meeting with the police and reviewing the bodycam footage from the day he died, she is satisfied with their work.
“Everything is going smooth,” Brooke said. “It was a really beautiful day.” She thanked the police for being “very transparent” and also thanked her father’s wife, Sky Daily, for being “super sweet” and cooperative. While she is disappointed that a toxicology report was not possible due to the condition of her father, she no longer believes there was any foul play involved.
She and her father had been estranged for two years prior to his passing on July 24. After not attending the official funeral, choosing instead to honor him privately at the beach. She stated that while answers are great, “none of it brings my dad back,” and that she will no longer be speaking publicly about the “mystery” surrounding his death.
